Leuchtturm1917Notebook Medium (A5), Hardcover, 251 Numbered Pages Navy, Squared

A nice product bought as a Christmas gift which is used and appreciate. Unfortunately, when ordering it I seem to have inadvertently signed up for Amazon Prime. I paid the subscription for two months before realising what was going on and cancelling. So the notebook cost 18.75 and two months -unwanted- subscription to Prime 17.98. Caveat emptor Amazon shoppers!

For the past six years, I've been using Leuchtturm1917 notebooks and I can confidently say that they are of top-notch quality. Not only are they durable and long-lasting, but they also offer the best value for their cost. I highly recommend these notebooks to anyone in search of a reliable and affordable writing companion.

I buy one of these every six months as my journal for writing or ideas etc. It's just a fantastic product. I'm impressed. I was using moleskine until about 2017 and I've been so happy since I switched, I just think the quality is better in my opinion. I must have bought about 10 of these now, and will continue to do so as long as the product quality continues to stay the same

Love these books. This is my second one and I intend to try to get through one of every colour eventually! They last me about a year so will take me a while. The quality of the book reflects on the price, but worth it for a high-quality, professional notebook.

I'm writing a review as a response to many others who have commented negatively on the quality of the paper. I love these notebooks. I use them every day, keeping notes, journal entries, todo lists and design sketches. I end up going through them pretty fast, and I must be on my 9th or 10th one now. Some of the features I appreciate above and beyond what most other brands (even quality products) are:- Numbered pages- Dedicated Index/Content- Double bookmarks- Resiliency/toughness- Paper quality- Included Labels- Handful of pre-perforated detachable pages at the rear (surprisingly useful feature)In regards to the paper quality, I have found it excellent. I'm quite demanding with my notebooks, and most of the time use a medium nib fountain pen in a heavy hand with high saturation black ink. The paper takes inks extremely well, with no bleedthrough or feathering. It also handles Pigma Micron 05 colored pens and pencil sketches well.As far as ghosting is concerned, the paper will ghost more than some other papers of the same density. This is ok for my use case (notes, design sketches, etc...) but may prove problematic for artists who intend to use these for sketching. I chose these notebooks after extensive testing of various paper/ink combinations (>25) and they came out as clear winners, despite the more prominent ghosting.They're also well constructed. I use them harshly, often just throwing them in my bag and don't have to worry about whether they can hold together. The binding and pages haven't failed me yet after several years of using them. That's not true of other brands (I had to use a Moleskine a while back, for example, and it fell apart before I go half way through).For reference, the combination I chose for these notebooks was using a TWSBI Eco with Medium nib with Platinum Carbon Black ink. Works great for me.In conclusion, I'd recommend you give these a try if you haven't already and see if they work for you. If they don't, that's ok too. There are plenty of other great brands out there that might be a better fit.

These are simply the best bullet journals I've bought. They look great, the quality is great, and I wouldn't go for anything else.We use free transfers from World of Printables, and they look amazing in the Leuchtturm.

Nice to draw and write in. Good paper makes a huge difference

The paper isn't any better/thicker than cheaper notepads i've had in the past (you can see the writing through the pages) but in contrast the pages do stay open which is a massive plus for me - Rhodia paper seems far superior to me - having to pay extra for a pen loop is a bit crap - the hardback isn't very sturdy but sufficient - i don't have use for the second ribbon so it's a bit annoying so i might just cut it off - overall decent quality but quite expensive for what it is.
